Hazardous Materials Communication Program

Keep workers safe and satisfy OSHA requirements with a quality hazardous materials communication program

If you use hazardous chemicals during the course of your business, it is necessary to have a Hazardous Materials Communication Program in place.  This includes a written plan that is written according to OSHA standards.  Next, you must maintain an up-to-date inventory of all hazardous chemicals and see that they are labeled properly.  Your MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are to be accessible and your employees must be trained properly.  H2 Environmental Consulting Services is here to help you understand these requirements and to assist you in taking the appropriate actions.

Focus of the H2 Environmental Consulting Services Hazardous Materials Communication Program

• MSDS Review & Maintenance
  • MSDS file analyzed onsite for completeness – MSDS must be appropriately filled out and available and employees must be trained on how to read them.
  • Conduct hazardous materials inventory of on-site items – all hazardous chemicals in use are to be listed and new chemicals must be documented before use.  Containers and piping that carries such hazardous items must be properly labeled.
  • Quarterly review and update any outdated information
  • Fire Life and Safety Program
    • Fire alarm system review – fire system is reviewed for completeness and tested.
    • Updated site specific emergency CAD drawings (8 1/2″ X 11″) generated – complete drawings provide necessary information on locations of fire safety equipment.
    • Quarterly check of fire extinguisher recharge dates and maintenance logs – fire extinguishers must be recharged after use and such use must be recorded.
